not quite so bummin'
May. 3rd, 2011 06:09 pmI got the go-ahead from the podiatrist to do pool running, so I gathered together all the links my running friends had sent me, went to the rec center (and discovered I still had 16 visits left on my 5-year-old "20-punch" pass [not literally punches; it's a magnetic scan card, but the name is left over from an earlier era] and although it had technically expired, the rec center kindly revalidated it for three more months, so yay), got a foam belt from the lifeguards, and embarked upon Adventures In Pool Running.
And to my surprise, it doesn't (so far) suck!
I'm not sure why. I hate treadmill running, and the stationary bike downstairs is torture. But I am finding pool running oddly enjoyable. At least for the moment. And it's certainly improved my mood, for which my husband is thankful.
Anyway, for Three Weeks for Dreamwidth, I wrote up a short info post about pool running and posted it to
runners. If you are curious, check it out.
